tougher blusher

During the epic rise of cookie-cutter contouring and severe sculpting, blush was somewhat left behind. Not any more: in a movement towards embracing individuality and improving the look of all-round wellness, blusher is well and truly back on the beauty map. And this time, it’s making a statement. ‘Avoid the ’80s cheekbone stripe and apply from the apple of the cheek diagonally downwards to mimic a post-workout flush,’ advises Andrew Gallimore, the master make-up artist behind these looks. ‘To find the shade that suits you, note the colour that rushes to your cheeks after a hot bath and scout out something similar.’ How brazen you go with your application is entirely up to you.
